Transylvania for the iPhone has just been submitted to Apple for review and should be available any day. Check out the Web site http://www.roemobiledevelopment.com/Site/Transylvania.html.

The iPhone version features sounds, a few animations, a new touch interface, a picker dial to show the list of available commands.

Wow, I miss Transylvania!

Come to think of it, we need more nostalgic games like this. Just not 5.99.

Really not that hard to port and code such games. Its pretty much amatuer stuff to be honest.

An early game in the same spirit, I'd love to see Transylvania (from Penguin Software) brought to the iPhone.

No offense S. Shiflett, but you forgot one of the best sierra games of them all. Gabriel Knight. The one game series from Sierra which included all of those games in one. Fantasy, Action, Adventure, Drama, Humor, Puzzle, and a beautiful long running story.

Anyways, its funny how people have been commenting on Oregon Trail and said, I'd prefer to buy the original Apple II version instead of the revamped.

You guys are SO FUNNY!

Open mailbox. Take leaflet. Read leaflet.

No one's a bigger Sierra fan than myself–gaming isn't what it used to be, alas.

However, $6 is too much for this game.

Now, give me King's Quest, Space Quest, Hero's Quest, Police Quest, etc., and consider it sold.

Yeah, I agree with everyone else- why the he'll would I pay six dollars for something in the public domain? I can understand that porting it took time and work, but surely not nearly as much work as any other game in the six dollar range.
I would consider it (I do love this game) if it were a dollar- that seems appropriate for a thirty year old game that nobody has to pay lisencing on- but for now, I will emphatically pass
